Use of crospovidone as pelletization aid as alternative to microcrystalline cellulose: effects on pellet properties

Background: Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is the most important pelletization aid in extrusion/spheronization. Because of known disadvantages, the search for substitutes is ongoing. In this context, crospovidone has proven to offer substantial advantages as pelletization aid because of its ability to turn low-soluble active ingredients into fast-dissolving stable pellets. Method: Pellets from crospovidone with different amounts of paracetamol, hydrochlorothiazide, and spironolactone as model drugs were prepared by extrusion/spheronization. For comparison, pellets with MCC as extrusion aid were also produced. The pellets of different formulations were evaluated in terms of yield, aspect ratio, mean Feret diameter, 10% interval fraction, tensile strength, disintegration, and drug release profile. Results: Only crospovidone types exhibiting small particle sizes are suitable as pelletization aid. While maintaining the pharmaceutical quality aspects, it was possible to incorporate up to 60% (w/w) active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into pellets with crospovidone. The most distinguished differences between pellets based on crospovidone and MCC are the disintegration and drug release behavior. The pellets containing binary mixtures of the low-soluble APIs and crospovidone resulted in fast release in contrast to the pellets with MCC as pelletization aid, which exhibited a slow release. Conclusion: Crospovidone shows an excellent behavior as pelletization aid and produces fast-releasing pellets even with low-soluble APIs.     

Comparison of mechanical properties of ground corn stover,switchgrass, and willow and their pellet qualities

Mechanical and physical properties of ground corn stover, switchgrass, and willow were measured and compared in addition to the quality of pellets. Biomass was size-reduced with two different screen sizes (3.175 and 6.35?mm) and conditioned to obtain samples at two different moisture contents (17.5 and 20% on wet basis). Ground switchgrass had the smallest and willow had the highest D₅₀ when size-reduced with the same screen size. Hydrostatic triaxial compression tests were performed using the cubical triaxial tester to determine the bulk modulus, compression index, and spring-back index at specific unloading pressures (20, 45, 70, and 95?kPa). The trends of pressure vs. volumetric strain and void ratio vs. natural log of pressure were similar for all three materials; however, the magnitudes were different. Willow, size-reduced with 3.175?mm screen size at 17.5% wet basis, had the highest bulk modulus among different conditions of all the three biomass. Pellet durability values for all the three materials were higher than 80%. Corn stover pellets formed with 3.175?mm screen size at 20% wet basis had the highest diametral tensile and axial compressive strengths among different conditions for all the three biomass, however the values were not significantly different (p?>?0.05).

Iron Ore Pellet Dustiness Part II: Effects of Firing Route and Abrasion Resistance on Fines and Dust Generation

Iron ore pellets abrade during their production and handling, which lowers product quality and leads to dustiness issues. Pellets were collected from a variety of plants (operating either Straight-Grate (SG) or Grate-Kiln (GK) furnaces) to understand whether furnace type affects fines and dust formation. Results showed that pellets fired in SG furnaces were less abrasion-resistant (3.5 × lower) than pellets fired in GK furnaces. Concurrently, laboratory pellets were prepared using various ores, binders, and firing temperatures. These were tested to understand the relationship between abrasion index and dustiness. AI was observed to range from 1 to 14%. Dustiness, determined via AI and size distributions of abrasion progeny, ranged from 0.2 to 1.6%. For AI greater than 5%, AI can be used to indicate potentially high levels of dust. For AI less than 5%, there was a poor correlation between AI and dustiness. This was explained by the observation that as AI decreased, the abrasion product fineness increased. The results from parts I and II of this investigation suggest that material loss and levels of pellet dustiness may be significantly affected by pellet quality up to a certain point. Poorly fired pellets will be dusty during handling and transportation, while well-fired pellets will generate less – but finer – material as their quality improves. This could lead to little observed changes in dust generation over a wide range of pellet quality. Dust generation at each site would then depend on the quantity of material produced and their extent of handling.     

A New On-Line Method for Predicting Iron Ore Pellet Quality

The Abrasion Index (AI) describes fines generation from iron ore pellets, and is one of the most common indicators of pellet quality. In a typical pellet plant, dust is generated during the process and then captured. Can the dust be measured and used to predict AI? In this paper, the feasibility of using airborne dust measurements as an indicator of AI is investigated through laboratory tests and using data from a pellet plant. Bentonite clay, polyacrylamide and pregelled cornstarch contents, and induration temperature were adjusted to control the abrasion resistance of laboratory iron ore pellets. AI were observed to range from approximately 1% to 12%. Size distributions of the abrasion progeny were measured and used to estimate quantities of PM₁₀ (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm) produced during abrasion. A very good correlation between AI and PM₁₀ (R² = 0.90) was observed using the laboratory pellets. Similarly, a correlation was observed between AI and PM measured in the screening chimney at a straight-grate pelletization plant in Brazil, with an R² value of 0.65. Thus, the laboratory and industry data suggest that measuring dust generation from fired pellets may be an effective on-line measurement of pellet quality. The data also showed that particulate emissions from pelletization plants may be directly affected by AI.     

Important Parameters for the Manufacture of Slow-Release Matrix Pellets With an Aqueous Dispersion of Quaternary Poly(meth)acrylates in the Rotary Fluidized Bed

ABSTRACT

The manufacture of slow-release matrix pellets with an aqueous dispersion of quaternary poly(meth)acrylates was investigated in the rotary fluidized bed. By considering the moisture content of the fluidized bed to be the key process parameter, it was measured on-line throughout the whole manufacturing process. A specially designed sampling device opened new ways to apply NIR spectrometry in laboratory scale processes. It was shown that reproducibly improved pellet properties can be achieved by reproducing the moisture content of the (rotary) fluidized bed. Moisture plateaus proved to be a suitable way to optimize the sphericity of the pellets. Premoisturizing was found to be a very effective tool to achieve slow-release dissolution of the model drug theophylline.     

Development of the Sludge Thermal-Drying Option for South West Water

Sewage-sludge production in South West Water is predicted to more than double, to about 50000 dry tonnes per annum, by the turn of the century. Staff of South West Water Services have carried out a strategic review of sludge utilization and treatment options, and have developed a strategic planning computer model to assist in the financial evaluation of the many options which are available. The strategy allows for the provision of new raw sludge thermal-drying facilities for the anticipated increase in sludge production.
Trials were carried out with an indirect dryer system to develop and investigate the operational issues and use of the dried raw product. The initial trial produced a fluffy, low-density material with poor storage and handling characteristics, apparently associated with the high-fibre content of the sludge. The process has been modified to include pelletization.
